The cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It was a pleasure to rent a cottage where the furniture not only looked good but was exceptionally comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was catered for. It was such a pleasure for us to stay there and our only big regret was that we had only booked it for one week and we would have liked to have stayed much longer.

In addition we loved the lovely and well kept garden which was such a pleasure to sit in and watch the birds and enjoy the flowers.

We hope to return one day very soon.

WHAT CAN I SAY FABULOUS FANTASTIC HAMPER EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT

11 OCTOBER 2016

An oustanding cottage - one of the best we have used. However, the lighting in the sitting room is poor - insufficient to be able to read easily. A major improvement is very desirable, indeed necessary!

spotless and lovely welcome hamper .

30 AUGUST 2016

No foil/cling film at property very unusual for a RR cottage.Mirrors in the bedroom - hairdryer available so it would be good to see what you are doing.Apart from that a great place to stay, will be returning.

Laundry cottage was in a delightful setting and was beautifully presented. The hamper on arrival was a real treat! The main issue we found with the cottage was the arga in the kitchen which had been switched off and took a very long time to reheat. Greater instruction on how to use this would have been useful. Some of the plumbing fixtures were also rather poor and needed attention. Despite this we would definitely return to this cottage.

Lovely cottage , exactly as shown on webpage . A few minor points for follow up - some of the light switches didn't appear to work , the AGA isn't the most flexible cooker and for someone not used to AGA's it may be a challenge , couldn't get the room thermostat to switch from auto setting . Would have liked some more information left specifically about local walks and places to visit.
